BREAKING: Franz Wagner OUT! Orlando Magic Face MAJOR Crisis— How they SURVIVE without their star

The Orlando Magic face a new test as Franz Wagner suffers a significant leg injury in Sunday's loss to the New York Knicks. The Magic will have to fill back in and find a way to survive once again facing a major injury.

Paolo Banchero is still working his way back from his early-season injury and it is clear he will need to step up more just as everyone will have to fill in with Wagner likely out. The only to move is forward. That means a focus on the team's offensive and defensive identity to find success.

The Magic were left in a sort of daze as they struggled to shoot and create shots in the paint to stay competitive, ultimately falling short with Wagner out of the lineup.
